Museum of Missouri Military History

The Museum of Missouri Military History is in Jefferson City, Missouri.

History
The museum opened in April 1999 in a two-story building at the Ike Skelton Training Site. However, after 13 years the collection had become to large to display in the 1,000 sqft space and the museum announced plans to move. It began relocating to a series of 6,400 sqft maintenance bays adjacent to the Missouri National Guard headquarters in 2013. The museum held a grand opening in the new space on 7 December 2014.

In the following years the museum received several aircraft for display, including an F-4 in August 2015 and a C-130 from the closed Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum in May 2016. The latter was repainted in European camouflage in July 2017.

Exhibits
Temporary exhibits at the museum have covered subjects such as African-Americans in the military, military food and military toys.
